I am so Accurate

After being blocked, Westbrook stopped attacking with the ball, and the ball was transferred to Griffin in the low post.

The Thunder are good at defensive counterattacks and have relatively few positional warfare methods. They basically have two axes, Westbrook's swipe, and Griffin's swipe.

Jeff Green's two-game attack became three after his return.

This is quite similar to the Thunder in history.

Although Griffin has short hands, his low-post offensive skills are actually quite good. He hit Millsap from behind and turned around and wiped the bottom of the basket.

But the moment he took action, Yao Ming helped defend to the basket in advance.

Griffin tried to hide but was short-handed.

"boom!"

Yao Ming gave Griffin another big hat!

This time the Staples Center was completely boiling.

Yao Ming was so awesome at the beginning!

After Yao Ming collected another rebound, the Lakers advanced to the frontcourt.

Yao Ming plays in the low post again, and this time Griffin helps defend from the weak side.

Yao Ming also reacted quickly and passed the ball to Millsap in the corner.

Millsap made a three-pointer.

"Dang!"

It's a pity that it missed the mark.

but!

Yao Ming grabbed an offensive rebound over Jordan's head, then tipped the ball in from close range and scored again!

Sun Hao was stunned by this scene.

Yao Ming's thighs are a bit thick tonight!

Facts have proved that Sun Hao's feeling was right. Yao Ming's first game in the playoffs can be described as fiery.

In the entire game, Yao Ming played three quarters and already had a double-double of 30 points and 15 rebounds!

Well, there are still 4 blocks!

This performance directly made Sun Hao win.

Although the Thunder's fighting spirit was very high, they were ultimately defeated in three quarters when they were completely unable to defend the paint.

The Lakers finally defeated the Thunder 106-86 to win their first playoff victory.

On social media after the game, fans also fell into a fit of carnival.

When Yao Ming won the All-Star Game MVP, Lakers fans were happy, but as time went by, doubts still emerged uncontrollably.

Some fans feel that Yao Ming's data is completely brushed up and has no reference significance.

But now it's better. In the first game of the playoffs, they had such abnormal statistics as 30+15 in three quarters, which was a slap in their face.

Come on, you also need to be capable on the All-Star Game stage!

The first game of the series was just a test in the playoffs, but the tone of this series was already set in the first game.

In the previous regular season, it was Howard Chandler who put on the mask of pain one by one, but now, it is Jordan who "exclusively enjoys it".

Yao Ming was in the Eastern Conference before, and the Lakers had just returned from injury, so Jordan's feeling was not that strong.

Now directly into the playoffs, throughout the entire series, he has felt what it means to be powerless and desperate.

He even has empathy across time and space for those centers who were contemporaries with peak O'Neal.

If the inside is lost, Yao Ming can only be allowed to wreak havoc in the inside. The defensive success rate in positional battles is horribly low, which prevents the Thunder from playing to its strengths.

This basically seals the fate of the Thunder.

Except for the return to the home court where Westbrook exploded and beat Knight to death, and the Thunder won a thrilling victory, the Thunder basically had no resistance in other games.

4 to 1, the expected fierce game did not happen in the end. The Lakers finally defeated the Thunder and advanced to the Western Conference semifinals.

Now what they have to wait for is their opponent in the conference semifinals.

At this time, several sets of matches in the Western Conference also entered a fever pitch.

Except for the Warriors, who swept the Hornets without any suspense, the remaining two sets of games all went to Tianwang Mountain.

Led by the young Nowitzki with 33 points in a single game, the Mavericks won the Tianwang Mountain against the Clippers.

On the other side, the Spurs' youngster Leonard used his death-wound defensive ability to wrap up the injured Rose and the healthy Gay. The Spurs also defeated the Grizzlies 91-81. Got the initiative in the series.

It seems that the Mavericks and Spurs have a greater chance of winning the series.

But after watching the entire series, you know that's not the case.

These teams are extremely close in strength, and the outcome may be determined by the most critical rounds.

There is a high probability that there will be a tiebreaker.

After the Lakers ended their series, they also turned their attention to the Spurs and Grizzlies.

Harris organized the whole team to watch the G6 game between the two sides.

They were bored before watching the game, and the two of them were also guessing the result of G6.

Yao Ming is more optimistic about the Grizzlies, and he is very fond of Gasol in his words.

This feeling is a bit like the feeling O'Neal had when he looked at Yao Ming.

Just like in human life, there are some feelings and things that you get automatically when you get older.

However, in this era of declining centers in the league, Gasol has comprehensive skills and can be regarded as someone who can pass on the center torch.

Sun Hao also feels that the Grizzlies have a great chance tonight, after all, they are playing at home.

But overall, he thinks the Spurs are more likely to win.

After all, he still knows Popovich very well, and if there is a chance, he will never let it slip away.

This is not entirely a compliment.

The game started quickly. Playing at home, it was another life and death battle. The Grizzlies played a very high-intensity offensive and defensive quality in the opening game.

Especially for Rose, the various emergency stops and changes left the Spurs helpless, and Popovich could only express his face on the sidelines.

One detail that needs attention is that this Spurs team is basically the same as the Spurs team in history, but it is missing a very critical top defender on the outside.

That's right, Danny Green.

Green was originally selected by the Warriors along with Matthews. Matthews directly signed a lucrative contract with the Wizards because his contract ended earlier, but Green is still with the Warriors!

Green had some differences with the Warriors due to contract matters before. It will be difficult for the Warriors to keep him when the contract ends this summer.

But at least he is still with the Warriors now, and the Spurs have one less player on the outside who can follow Rose.

What? Did Leonard defend him before?

Leonard is a forward after all, and his restriction on Rose in the last game relied more on protecting the basket.

But Rose was in great shape tonight, and he hit consecutive mid-range shots from the outside.

And Yao Ming was very happy to watch, because Rose's opportunities all came from Gasol's pick-and-roll.

Gasol has the basket, mid-range, pick-and-roll, and defense. His technical characteristics are very similar to Yao Ming.

At halftime, the Grizzlies led the Spurs 53-41.

A 12-point difference is not that big, but it is not that small for two teams with very good defensive capabilities.

It seems that Yao Ming has better luck tonight. The Grizzlies and Spurs will win the tiebreaker in this series.

After returning from the 15-minute halftime break, it was at this time that Popovich was shown footage.

Under the camera, Popovich's face turned red. It seemed that the past 15 minutes of rest were not easy for the Spurs players.

But when the second half started, the discomfort helped the Spurs.

The Spurs' defensive intensity has obviously increased, and it has become much more difficult for the Grizzlies to score.

Of course, after the Spurs put in a lot of energy on the defensive end, their own offensive performance has also obviously declined.

The result is that the intensity of the confrontation on the field continues to increase until...

Rose is injured.

Before he realized that his playing style was hurting his knees, Rose's playing style was extremely tense, entertaining and self-inflicted.

When the defensive intensity is relatively average, he doesn't need to do those exaggerated starts and stops, and the situation is better.

But when the team couldn't score points, Rose couldn't control himself because of his desire to win.

When the Spurs defend, they won't lower their desire to win. Stephen Jackson knocked Rose over during a confrontation, and Rose hugged his knees and couldn't get up.

Watching Rose being carried off the field by his teammates and the camera capturing the scene where his eyes were red, Sun Hao was inexplicably moved.

The biggest difference between Rose and Iverson is their flamboyant personalities, but sometimes you can easily connect them with their competitiveness.

Sun Hao originally felt that he did not need to suggest anything to Ross, but at this moment he suddenly changed his mind.

Rose retired due to injury, and the game lost suspense. The Spurs finally defeated the Grizzlies 89-73 and advanced to the Western Conference semifinals with a big score of 4-2.

In this way, the Lakers' opponent will be determined.

What I said before finally came true, Sun Hao was about to meet Popovich again.

After watching the game, Yao Ming felt sorry for Gasol, but Sun Hao was looking at Yao Ming.

Seeing that Rose was injured, he was actually a little worried about Yao Ming.

Although Bowen and Ferry have retired and are no longer with the Spurs, Popovich is still there.

If it were really Jackson or Blair who gave Yao Ming a few blows, Yao Ming might not be able to do well.

Injury is just like a virus. Once it finds you, it is not easy to get rid of it.

"Dayao, you worked hard for the Thunder. I'll do the Spurs."

Sun Hao stood up and patted Yao Ming on the shoulder and said.

Yao Ming looked up at Sun Hao and was stunned for a moment.

Of course he didn't know what Sun Hao was thinking. He just felt that Sun Hao didn't take the Spurs seriously when he said this.

According to the strength of the Spurs, it is difficult to defeat just one person.

"Don't worry, I've played the Spurs the most and I'm very experienced."

Sun Hao saw Yao Ming's doubts and said with a smile.

Yao Ming nodded this time.

This is true. After having Duncan, the Spurs have been among the championship teams all year round, and Sun Hao's team has always been the favorite for the championship because of him. The number of games between these two teams is generally indispensable.

Moreover, Sun Hao's performance is not bad every time he plays against the Spurs. Like Kobe, he is a bit of a bitter player for the Spurs.

Seeing that Yao Ming listened to the advice, Sun Hao was relieved.

Although letting Yao Ming sit back and play will definitely make the playoffs more difficult and may even risk overturning, compared to Yao Ming's health, it is still worth it.

After the Spurs series ended, the first round of the Eastern and Western Conferences basically came to an end.

Two days later, the Mavericks defeated the Clippers in the tiebreaker, crushing the Clippers to get the last spot in the Western Conference semifinals.

The semifinal matchups in the Western Conference are also announced.

Lakers VS Spurs, Warriors VS Mavericks.

The first round was exciting enough, and this round is very interesting just to watch the matchup.

You must know that in the first round, fans still felt that the Clippers were regretful because of Howard and the Grizzlies were unable to exert their full strength because of Rose.

But in the second round, this problem will not occur again.

Moreover, the configuration of these teams is almost "perfect", and the excitement here can be seen with the naked eye.

In comparison, the east side is a bit "going through the motions".

The Knicks and Bulls both swept and advanced to the second round.

The remaining Pacers easily defeated the Bucks 4-1.

The only ones with a little suspense, the Hawks and Pistons, only scored 4-2 in the end.

And it was also 4-2, and the Eagles came from 3-1, so there was not much suspense.

In the second round, the Knicks VS Hawks, Bulls VS Pacers.

Well, if you are an Eastern Conference fan, you just want to press the fast forward button at this time and watch the Knicks-Bulls battle earlier.

Before the start of the second round, the league announced the second batch of awards for the season, the best rookie and best defensive player, as well as the rookie lineup.

The Rookie of the Year, Damian Lillard, was elected by virtue of his performance of averaging 19 points and 6.5 assists per game, beating out his teammate No. 1 pick Anthony Davis.

It is worth mentioning that Lillard's total vote rate exceeded 55%, which is definitely a big surprise for Denver fans.

The result of Rookie of the Year was surprising, and then the result of dpoy was even more surprising.

Yao Ming was elected dpoy!

This is also the first time in his career!

Although Yao Ming is completely worthy in terms of statistics, he has had better statistics than this before with the Wizards, but in the end he only scored one defense.

The most telling thing about this is that the team you play on is really important.

Because this selection is voted on by the media, not to mention how many media there are in Los Angeles, even the exposure rate of the Lakers is different.

Coupled with the excellent record of the Lakers, it will give you a feeling of "turns out he is so good".

Yao Ming himself didn't expect it, but he was still very happy after winning the award, and his approach was very Chinese.

He invited his teammates to have a meal together directly after training.

This can also be regarded as a collective relaxation for the teammates before the fierce semi-finals.

One day later, the conference semifinals officially kicked off.

The game between the Lakers and Spurs started on the first day.

The Staples Center was packed to capacity, and the front rows were filled with Hollywood stars.

Nicholson, the team's number one fan, was among them, and Sun Hao's wife Scarlett was also sitting there with little Beijing.

At this time, little Beijing was already very temperamental. Although he was young, he was handsome and cute.

During the warm-up before the game, Popovich and Sun Hao glanced at each other inadvertently.

At one glance, no one knew how many scenes flashed back in their minds. In the end, both of them smiled in unison.

This smile, if caught by the media, can create a lot of scenes.

As the saying goes, when there are too many opponents, it is easy to develop a feeling of hero cherishing the hero. Besides, many childhood enemies may end up sleeping in the same bed.

But in fact, those are mostly content produced by the media.

At this time, Popovich is a typical "smiling on the face, mmp in the heart".

He only has one os at the moment: Why is it you again!
